Western Wall, in the Old City of Jerusalem, a place of prayer and pilgrimage sacred to the Jewish people. It is the only remains of the retaining wall surrounding the Temple Mount, the site of the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem, held to be uniquely holy by the ancient Jews. The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 587–586 bce, and the Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 ce.

The Western Wall, a remnant of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism. Praying there is a powerful and meaningful experience that enables one to connect deeply to their faith and to the Jewish people.

Even if you’re not physically at the Western Wall, prayer is always a powerful tool for connection.
